Quarter Club

 

 

The Quarter Club, powered by the United Way, forms a community of inspiring leaders driving a local movement of people using business as a force for good. The most challenging social problems from Saint John to Sussex to St. Stephen cannot be solved by government and non-profits alone. Quarter Club members work toward a stronger community where kids are safe and successful, families thrive, and our neighbours have dignity and purpose. By harnessing the power of the Club, members use profits and growth as a means to a greater end: positive impact for their business, employees and community.

Quarter Club members demand the highest standards of verifiable social impact to balance profit and purpose. Club businesses are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable community.

The values and aspirations of the Quarter Club community are embedded in the United Way’s courageous approach to impact investment. Through a rigorous vetting process, the United Way invests in local social programs that show results by breaking the cycle of domestic violence and ensuring access to mental health services.

United Way supports the best run agencies having the greatest social impact. When you join the Quarter Club, you can too.
